The Mon Repos Turtle Centre reflects the highest level of architectural thinking, craftmanship, technology and art, all responding to an imbedded commitment to sustainability. It is also appropriate that the building has an inherent Queensland character in terms of response to context and climate and that its fundamental structure is made of Queensland materials by an innovative local Queensland manufacturer. The building’s commitment to quality of materials and construction should mean this building will be enjoyed and highly valued for many years to come. The architects, the broader team and the client, (Queensland Government) should be congratulated on a shared commitment to excellence.
